I'm optimistic as well. I kicked in on this a few months back and I'll have the mmo when it's released as well (assuming it's released). You have to give them credit that at least when they clarified that the mmo was separate they still gave you time to jump in and get both for original price. I ...

Lol Snoopy and thanks for the replies everyone. I was just wondering since there were other 6dof forums but I guess none of those are still kicking either. And thanks for the info Gekko. I figured someone here had to have tried it out by now. I'm seriously jonesing for a new Descent so I hope they ...

Is there a reason there is not a Miner Wars forum on the DBB somewhere? It seems to be the closest thing to another Descent we are going to get in the near future. I'm debating whether to kick in on the alpha buy-in so I wanted to hear some feedback and there apparently isn't any, not here at least ...

I am very saddened to hear this. Bama and I had a lot of great times playing in Descent and DCBB. I first met him in person at Uberfest 2 in 99 when I sat next to him and Murph and we had a great time. And then again in Houston and at Suncoast 2. I still have one of his business cards with a ...

It does look a little cheesy graphics wise but I'm sure I'll be giving it a try this fall.

I run BF2 and BF 2142 on Vista Business 64 with no problems except for an occasional issue with my X-fi and Teamspeak. I think that's more on Teamspeak since we've been waiting on 3.0 forever.

CritterB

It works for me. It's definitely got that old Skinny Puppy / Front line Assembly feel. Thanks.

CritterB

I'm not going to be much help in your search but I am definitely interested in what you find and what you do with it. I spent a lot of time playing Descent Online for Engage games as a beta tester. That's actually where I met Capm and where Midnight Squadron was formed. Let me know if you get ...

CritterB

I signed up for this beta last night as well. It sounds pretty cool to me. And they do state that the games will be compatible with XP and Vista.

CritterB

Congratulations Palzon! I hope you guys have a long happy life together.

I've got a Descent wallet that I won for winning one of the round of 64 matches on HEAT. PM me Obi and I'll send it to you if you want (assuming shipping isn't outrageous or anything). It's just sitting around collecting dust right now so someaone may as well enjoy it. You can't have my Descent hat ...

We used ProVantage for many years when I was at NC State with no problems. I would not hesitate to buy from them again.

CritterB

Keep it up psi. Don't pay any attention to these people and just keep chugging along. I may not play anymore but I check back here regularly and I'm always looking for updates on your progress. I know I'll be all over it once you get something going.

CritterB

Good luck man. I had a lot of fun in there in the beta. Then it went live and pay to play and we all bolted to Kali.

CritterB

2142 works for me in Vista without any issues. And yes, it's very enjoyable.

CritterB

I played one that sounds like it's what you are thinking of on Engage games online. It's where I met Capm and where he started Midnight Squadron as well. The ship names sound the same so I think it must be the one you are thinking of. I played it back around 1996 or so.

CritterB

That's strange Cuda because I was done after Suncoast 2 as well. I've talked with Bama and Suncoast 2 was it for him too. I had a great time there but that was the end for me. Weird.

Here's another one I've been using a lot. It's Foxit Reader and I use it instead of adobe to open pdf files lately as it's much faster.

Go Jmeat go!! Congratulations!

I found my old backup cd's and Capm got Pyro Play back online here:
http://www.midnightsquadron.com/pyroplay/index.html

along with the old MS site design for that page

CritterB

Hey Ktulu, what's going on man. Stop by the MS site one day and say hello. I'm still playing games; just not Descent these days but I'm waiting to jump all over Core Decision.

CritterB

Just as an FYI, Engage Games was where I first met Capm in early 1996 and he had just started Midnight Squadron. Engage Games was fun and had some other games besides Descent (I seem to remember a paintball game among others) but as soon as it went to a per minute rate after the long beta everyone ...

We always called them webworms but yes they are caterpillars. They will ruin certain species of tress and can spread quickly. Get rid of them as fast as you can if it's your property.

What happens when you expand past Utah? Or is anyone outside of Utah not allowed to join? And yes, your team's reputation will be based on the individuals that make up your team and their behavior as opposed to the tag.

CritterB

Here's new one I just started playing with that shows you the contents of you hard drive. I used it to find a whole bunch of large files I'd forgotten about and then deleted from my hard disk.:

I've had good luck with Go Daddy for the past 5 years. It's relatively easy to get a live person when you need support and they are actually helpful. We have our email hosted there as well. But, that's just my 2 cents.

CritterB

Aren't those the same ones from a front and back view? Either way, I agree that I like that one best as well and since I have been following this thread but not posting I want one of these too. Keep up the good work Bubba. ~

My wife got me the Kenwood KDC-MP735U for fathers day to replace my old JVC KDSH99 that finally bit the dust and I like it so far. Granted I'm not an audiophile but it works well and has a USB port that you can mount anywhere within reach of the cable. I think my wife got a good deal on it from ...

I've got a Zalman 9500 and it keeps my athlon 64 3700 running at 2.6 cool just fine. It is big and expensive but I got it for Christmas. It was definitely bigger in person than I thought from pics on the web. It does run cool and quiet though. My old cpu and heatsink you could hear across the house ...

CritterB

IMO the best stick ever made was the Sidewinder Force Feedback 2. Grnated I never had the ff on but it had a return center that you could set how hard it was. That thing was smooth as butter and is on my shelf right now waiting to get used again. I know I was not alone in the use of this stick and ...

CritterB

I have a Samsung 930b I use here for gaming and I love it. At my last job they got me the Samsung 204t and that thing rocked for work. It was huge and it rotated as well. I wish I had one of those at my new job.

CritterB

That was good. I may have to check out snl again. Definitely old school beasties-ish

CritterB

Very nice setup Readyman. I'm jealous (of the trip to Asia as well)! Have fun with the new rig.

CritterB

I'm in the same boat. I have a 3700+ running at 2.6. It currently idles at 36 with stock heatsink and fan and I don't want to go any higher until I get a nice, quiet fan and heatsink. I've been looking at the zalman 9500 but it is expensive ($59 at newegg). I remember seeing one a little while ago ...

CritterB

I'm not a guru but I've had one running for a year using xp mce. It's an athlon 2100 with a hauppage mce 150 tv tuner and my old radeon 9500 pro. It does all that I need. I just got a cordless gyro mouse and keyboard by Gyration from woot for $40 and it works much better than my old wireless ...

CritterB

Have you checked out the new Antec p180 case? Monarch has it and has gotten some good reviews. It's seems very quiet and has good coling as it places the power supply down below by itself. You can find a review here:

CritterB

Save a hundred bucks and get the 3700 and oc it from 2.2 to 2.4. I like newegg's search as it shows all the speeds and caches etc. Newegg Search edit: Better? Jeez I didn't know it was such a killer. Plus I didn't have the time to remember how to do it when I first posted it. I guess if it's taken ...

CritterB

I just got a new cpu and motherboard earlier this week. I got the Asrock dual 939 so I can keep using my agp 9800XT and upgrade to pci express later on. I also bought the 3700+ which is a single core san diego chip with the larger 1meg cache. It was $233 at Monarch and has a stock speed of 2.2. I am ...

Hey there fyrephlie. Good to see you again. I remember every time I typed your name I had to check that I had your right spelling. :D I just hang on around and post as I haven't played D3 in ages. But you know what, I still have it on my hard drive as I just can't get myself to remove it. How sad is ...
